Zaqqy immediately responded to one of the thugs. He was probably the leader of the other thugs.

The market residents, who were still quite numerous in the area because it was still early in the morning, glanced at each other and whispered when the sudden argument broke out.

"You're challenging us, huh? You're challenging me?" said the thug, putting his hands on his hips and glaring.

Brugh!

He walked towards Zaqqy with his chest puffed out, even bumping his shoulder into Zaqqy's body as if to challenge the young man.

Behind the thug were about four of his friends, who seemed to be looking down on Zaqqy.

The market stall owners began to retreat in fear, some of them even running into their stalls, small kiosks where they earned their living.

"Stop it, stop it. Please don't fight. It's still early in the morning, everyone is trying to make a living," said Pak Rahmat, one of the stall owners who sold kitchen spices.

"Get lost!" said the thug as he pushed Pak Rahmat.

Zaqqy, who saw this, reflexively held him with his left hand so that Mr Rahmat did not fall. Zaqqy smiled. It turned out that besides being strong, he also had good reflexes.

"You have no manners. You come here asking for protection money. The people in this market already pay the local government every month, some even pay annually. Just because there are many of you, don't threaten the people here," said Zaqqy. He helped Mr Rahmat back to his stall. "Don't go any further, sir. Let me take care of them. They're only brave because they're in a group," said Zaqqy politely to the elderly Mr. Rahmat.

"Stop, don't engage with them. They're cruel. They'll end up looking for your family," whispered Mr. Rahmat, holding Zaqqy back.

"They won't dare, sir. It's fine, stay here, sir," said Zaqqy again.

Then he turned to the man and his four friends. "Get out of here! Don't make us report you to the police. Just because you're a group, you're too bold and daring to bully ordinary people!" Zaqqy warned.

"What do you mean, huh?" The gang leader immediately grabbed Zaqqy's shirt.

Bugh!

Crack!!

​The young man twisted the thug’s arm and immediately landed a punch, causing the sound of cracking bones.

Something unexpected happened; the blow to the thug’s shoulder sent him flying nearly three metres, crashing into one of the stalls.

​Everyone who saw it was shocked, including Zaqqy himself. While looking at his right hand, he smiled slightly, then saw the gang leader being helped to his feet by his friends.

"Arrrrgh..."

The gang leader screamed loudly. He held his shoulder while moaning. His friends checked on him, pulling on their leader's shirt sleeve.

"Hah?!.."

Their eyes widened when they saw that the bone in his left arm near his shoulder had shifted backwards.

"Crazy, the bone shifted right away!" exclaimed one of the market visitors who saw it.

"How dare you! Beat him up!" said the gang leader's friends as they picked up pieces of wood. Some of them also had daggers, and some even had chains wrapped around their waists.

"Come on, don't be like this, stop it!" shouted the stall owners in fear.

However, the thugs continued to attack. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zaqqy ran to the market courtyard. The curious stall owners followed, as did the morning market visitors.

“Come on, come and see! Come and see!” said the labourers working for Mr Gimin. They ran quickly after Zaqqy, who was being chased by the thugs all the way to the courtyard.

Wush...

There, the four of them immediately ganged up on Zaqqy. Two attacked with sticks and daggers, whilst the other two kicked and flung the chain.

Bugh!

The young man had very quick reflexes. His left hand blocked the attack from the left, while his right hand caught the chain that was thrown at him.

Bugh! Tak...

Zaqqy spun forcefully, causing the chain's owner to fall. With a swift movement, he grabbed the chain and immediately slammed it into the other three thugs.

"Arrrgh...."

They all screamed loudly as the chain hit them squarely on the back.

"Want more?" said Zaqqy.

Bugh!

Bugh!

    Instantly, a dense, pitch-black light radiated from the tip of the keris. Dwi Toro’s eyes widened in shock, his teeth chattering as he endured the excruciating pain whilst the dark energy seeped into his body.“Aaaaaa....”Dwi Toro screamed and groaned, writhing violently on the teak bed. However, Chief Suro Menggala remained silent, continuing to chant his incantation until the black light at the tip of his keris faded. Dwi Toro slumped limply, unconscious. The Chief immediately walked away, leaving his subordinate lying there helpless.​“Contact everyone. Assemble immediately!” ordered Chief Suro Menggala coldly.​“Yes, sir!” replied one of the guards, who immediately set about carrying out the order.​The man walked towards a grand underground chamber. He sat in a tall, intricately carved chair, gazing at the still-empty round table with a sharp, steady gaze. Before long, the sound of synchronised footsteps echoed through the corridor. The large door swung open; ten trusted member

    Rahayu smiled slightly as she looked at her own reflection in the mirror, before finally rejoining her boss and colleagues.​Meanwhile, on the journey, Stella glanced over at Zaqqy again. She noticed her mobile phone, which showed it was 19.20 WIB.​“Who was that woman, Zaqqy?” Stella asked suddenly.​“She’s my neighbour, Miss.”​“Oh, I see,” replied Stella briefly. She didn’t ask any further questions, but her eyes remained fixed intently on the road ahead.​The car sped through the night until it arrived at the main house. Zaqqy escorted Stella to the door of her room on the third floor. After making sure his employer was safe, Zaqqy headed to his own room to freshen up. He changed out of his night shift uniform, which turned out to be different from his daytime uniform. This time he wore black trousers and a black T-shirt with red stripes down each side.​“Thank goodness it’s not that white jacket again. I feel like a bride when I wear that,” muttered Zaqqy, shaking his head. Once

    Dwi Toro replied briefly. He got into the car and immediately sped off from the house.​“I could see Mr Dwi Toro was in pain, but he was trying to act as if nothing was wrong. Is he heading to the Suro Menggala group’s main residence?” asked one of the aides. ​“It’s possible. Mr Dwi Toro does tend to spend more time there.” They promptly closed the gate and resumed their guard duty.​Meanwhile, Zaqqy had spent the whole day accompanying Stella through her incredibly busy schedule. They had completed one meeting after another, as well as meetings in various locations. At that moment, Stella was gazing out at the city streets from inside the car with a weary look.​“I’d like to go to a café. Do you know the best café in this city? I’ve only been here for three months, Zaqqy, so I’m not very familiar with the places around here yet. But Dad has put his trust in me to handle all the business matters,” said Stella.“I know of one café, Miss. It’s just quite a long way from here.”“That’s

    Stella ended the conversation with a triumphant smile, then simply walked away from Steffi. She approached Zaqqy and gave him a sweet smile.​“Come on, Zaqqy. Today’s meeting’s over. Don’t get too close to her, all right? She’s like a caterpillar—once she latches on, it’ll make you itch. Do you understand?” Stella warned, winking and mimicking a caterpillar crawling with her fingers.Zaqqy just looked at her with a hint of surprise, but he immediately went back to his usual self. ​“I understand, Miss,” Zaqqy replied briefly.​He followed Stella out of the restaurant. However, Zaqqy glanced back briefly; Steffi was still there, winking and waving her little hand at him. Zaqqy simply shook his head at the woman’s behaviour and carried on walking.​“After this, we’ve got a meeting at the AD Hotel. You know where it is, don’t you? You said earlier that you knew every place in this city,” said Stella as soon as they reached the car.​“I do know, Young Lady. You needn’t worry. Please faste

    They asked in unison. The eight women looked puzzled.​“It’s nothing out of the ordinary; I think it’s a matter of business rivalry. That’s the preliminary assessment from my bodyguard,” said Stella, then turned to Zaqqy. “Right, Zaqqy?”​“That’s the most likely scenario, Young Lady,” replied Zaqqy, his face expressionless. He didn’t even glance in the direction of Stella’s friends, who were watching him intently.​“Right then, let’s wrap up today’s discussion. There are a few things that got put on hold because I wasn’t here yesterday, weren’t there?” suggested Stella.Her friends nodded. The conversation began, punctuated by occasional laughter. Several women there kept glancing at Zaqqy, admiring his dashing and aloof appearance. Before they knew it, two hours had passed. The meeting came to an end and they began to disperse.“Stella, I’d like to have a quick word. Could you ask your bodyguard to step aside for a moment?” whispered Steffi, winking.“Sure,” Stella smiled faintly b

    Dwi Toro cursed in pain. He quickly got to his feet, clutching his chest, which was throbbing with excruciating pain. Zaqqy rushed after him, but Dwi Toro was quicker to get into his car and immediately put his foot down to make a getaway.“Bloody cheek!” Zaqqy cursed. He returned to his car and was startled. “Goodness me, Miss! I’m surprised to see you here,” Zaqqy said, shocked to see Stella had moved to the front seat. “Should we chase after him, Miss?” he asked, immediately changing the subject.“No need. I don’t know him. What was his motive for attacking us? Was he targeting you, or what exactly did he want?” Stella asked in return, her tone probing.​“I don’t know either, Young Lady. Perhaps he intended to attack you, but since I’ve been working with you, I thwarted his plan. If someone like you is attacked, that’s nothing out of the ordinary, is it? You come from a distinguished family; there must be business rivalry amongst you.”Stella adjusted her sitting position and faste
